Abstract: |
A Heritage Lottery funded archaeological excavation has been undertaken Navenby Archaeology Group and local volunteers under the site direction of Allen Archaeology Ltd at the Paddock, High Dike, Navenby, Lincolnshire. The works were undertaken intermittently from April to October 2013 in short, deliberately varied blocks, which included some weekend blocks, some weekday blocks, some within school holidays and some not in school holidays in a deliberate attempt to allow the maximum opportunity for participation by volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. The excavation revealed a complex sequence of Roman remains, the most significant being a sequence of structural remains relating to 5 buildings which fronted onto Ermine Street and dated from the 3rd to the early 5th century. The function of the buildings most likely changed through this period but seem likely to have included domestic and commercial properties. A very large assemblage of finds were recovered, including a very large and significant pottery assemblage and large assemblages of bone, glass, coins and metalwork. The results of the excavation are of at least regional significance, not least because of the importance of the pottery assemblage which was both large and well stratified, but also do much to increase our understanding of the development of Navenby during the late Roman period. |
